ero,

just takes time for the name servers to propigate.....check it in a couple of days and let us know if it is still stalled...btw, you did create a index.htm or index.html file, right? Also, sometimes a default.htm file needs to be deleted first depending on whom you registered the site through

No matter who ero uses ero is forwarding the NS records to Dreamhost so it doesn't point to the registrar, it points to Dreamhost therefore there will be no default html file at all.

When did you buy this domain and from whom? It appears it was purchased on 08-Jun-2000.

Here is all the info > http://whois.webhosting.info/enlg.com

I don't actually think you bought the domain name, you might have added it to your plan but you don't actually own the domain name. (To add a domain you have to buy the domain and then you have to add it to your plan.)

According to its site, that domain is listed as being for sale for $3,725, but not by Dreamhost.

Incidentally, the domain is enlg.com, not http://www.enlg.com/, which is a URL that includes this domain, a hostname within it ("www"), and a protocol ("http").

That picture doesn't mean you own the domain. All you did was add it to the control panel. You have to change the name server records on the domain to forward to Dreamhost.

That screenshot shows that you did not register the domain with Dreamhost.

If you do own the domain which it doesn't look like you do, you need to change he name servers to:
ns1.dreamhost.com
ns2.dreamhost.com
ns3.dreamhost.com

You can do that by logging onto the control panel of the company you registered it with.
